2nd December, 2008

Today's weather;

It's cloudy but dry. Current temp at 7 am is 26.3C.

Yesterday was a dry day and in the afternoon the sun even broke through and we had a real blue sky again, see the picture above, taken at World Resort, where I'm conducting an IDC.Max temp reached 28.5C.

Battle moves to Court; All eyes will today focus on the annual military parade at the Royal Plaza and on the Constitution Court, which would be hearing closing statements of the three political parties accused of having committed electoral fraud.

Hi, I wonder if you could help me. I have planned to visit Koh samui on 7/12/08, but I am concerned about the situation in Bangkok. Can you please tell me what is the situation in Koh samui? Is it safe? Are there any riots there? If it is not safe, I might delay my trip there. I appreciate your help.

Samui is very quiet and definitely no riots or anything remotely resembling it. All the riots and demonstrations are happening in Bangkok. Samui laso has a privately owned airport, so it's very unlikely that this airport will be occupied by protesters.

Hello Camille,I came across your blog when I googled Samui weather as I will be traveling there next week. I read on your blog that you hired a minivan to take your parents from Bangkok to Samui. I am supposed to fly to Samui from Bangkok but am looking at overland options. Do you still happen to have the name of the minivan company your parents used as well as the rate? Many thanks for your help.

I like your site, very cool. My girlfriend and I are on our way to Thailand, Samui incl. on the 13th. I've had to change our flight from Bangkok to KL for obvious reasons. Just 2 things, do you think things will be safe on Tao, Samui etc. and secondly. We now need to get from KL to Samui on the 14th. Whats the best way to do this? Fly from KL to Krabi and then bus/boat? oR what do you reckon? Cheers, Petrie

Samui and Koh Tao are very safe. No riots, no demonstrations, all that is happening in Bangkok, not on Samui and the surrounding islands.The best way from KL to Samui is to fly, I think that Bangkok Airways has flights and possibly Firefly

At this moment it looks only better by the hour for Thailand, the airports are about to open again, although it will eb a few days before they're ready to handle passengers. Samui is very relaxed and no riots have been here nor demonstrations!
